KONCHO SAPERAVI 2022 Kindzmarauli, Kakheti (United Stars)

ASSYRTIKO 2023 PGI Atalanti Valley

This wine is made from 100% Saperavi: a late- ripening grape and one of the few whose pulp and flesh, as well as its skin, are red. Matured 12 months in oak, it’s balanced, tangy and spicy, with red and black fruit. Try it with a hearty stew. Medium-bodied & Fruity 466458 (XD) 750 mL $15.95 2

While known for its Santorini origin, the Assyrtiko grape is actually cultivated throughout Greece. The variety is particularly prized for creating crisp, expressive wines with a wonderful ability to convey the mineral nuances of the soil; this wine evokes wet river stones and volcanic rock, with lovely jasmine, passion fruit and lemon adding even further intrigue. Sip with lemon chicken or fried calamari. Aromatic & Flavourful 27182 (D) 750 mL $18.95 2

TBILVINO SACHINO MEDIUM DRY RED 2023 Kakheti Made from 100% Saperavi grapes and cold- fermented in stainless steel, this wine is crafted in a style that retains a touch of sweetness. It evokes ripe, jammy blackberry and plum with a sprinkling of black pepper and will pair beautifully with spiced meats or rich pasta dishes. Medium-bodied & Fruity 41296 (M) 750 mL $18.95 2

KLADOS THE GREAT HAWK MUSCAT OF SPINA/VIDIANO 2023 Isle of Crete

KOUROS ASSYRTIKO 2023 IGP Stereá Elláda (Greek Wine Cellars D. Kourtakis)

GERMANY – WHITE WINE MOSEL REBEL MOSEL RIESLING 2023

Native to Santorini, where it produces wines with excellent freshness, fruit expression and saline minerality, Assyrtiko is found across Greece. Beyond Santorini, the grape maintains its vivid character but produces wines of greater intensity. This one is zesty and bright, with ripe passion fruit, citrus, and a fine mineral note. It will be versatile with food; try it with seafood or a vegetarian casserole. Light & Crisp 25713 (XD) 750 mL $14.95 2 Featured in Warm-Weather Wines

Qualitätswein (Sorentberg)

Made in an off-dry style with a kiss of residual sweetness, this wine offers ripe apple and pear notes and brilliant, crisp acidity. Five months on the lees lends a lovely roundness to the texture. Aromatic & Flavourful 39938 (M) 750 mL $19.95 2
